Courses at The School of Life

We offer short courses about the big issues of life - love, politics, work, family, play. The courses have been devised by leading authors, artists, actors and academics. They combine the experiences of a remarkable faculty with insights from great thinkers of the past, to offer you intelligent and playful ways to interpret the world, and your place within it.

The courses take place in our central London headquarters and also involve occasional visits to places which shed light on the issues at hand. So you might find yourself discussing the history of romance in a Travelodge, the contemporary relevance of Marx in a union office, or the pleasures of craftsmanship in a furniture workshop.
